The excitement is already building as
Glasgow makes its final preparations for the
XX Commonwealth Games, which take place
from 23rd July to 3rd August. Around one million
spectators will converge on the city to witness 4,500
of the world’s finest athletes competing for glory.
Winning isn’t flexible, so it’s vital that the support
and operational infrastructure behind the
Commonwealth Games is. Toshiba TEC is therefore
supplying best-in-class products and services as
part of a fully supported office automation solution.
Toshiba TEC’s managing director, Adam Sheppard,
says, ‘Toshiba TEC and the Commonwealth Games
share values such as healthy competition, a
commitment to the communities in which we operate,
and the desire to achieve the highest standards.’
While it is the sporting heroes and heroines that
will be the focus of attention, Toshiba TEC’s role
is synonymous with sport’s back room heroes –
the physiotherapists, coaches, nutritionists and
equipment developers who dedicate themselves
to excellence and constantly strive to give others
the edge.
Although most of the athletes will only perform
once, over 600 of Toshiba TEC’s market leading
e-STUDIO MFPs and desktop printing devices will
be deployed and expected to reliably perform every
time. The devices will be located everywhere from
back offices and receptions through to media and
results areas and will incorporate print management
software solutions including mobile printing,
enabling the Commonwealth Games’ headquarters,
satellite offices and venues to run like clockwork.
Toshiba TEC goes for
gold at Glasgow 2014.
An official sponsor of the XX Commonwealth Games,
Toshiba TEC UK Imaging Systems is providing a
comprehensive, fully supported office automation
solution to keep the information flowing during one
of the sporting events of the year.
Take, for example, the media centres. They will
experience some of the highest demand from
the print distribution infrastructure, as results
from various competitions are approved, printed,
photocopied and delivered to the waiting journalists.
Anything up to 700 copies of each document could
be needed, so speed will be key – a challenge that
the MFPs will be more than up to.
Although the technology is important, equally so is
the service and support that goes with it. Experts
from across the company are playing their part –
project managers are backed up by a variety of
technical, resourcing and logistics personnel, who
are responsible for ensuring that the devices are
ready to perform anywhere, anytime and anyhow.
David Grevemberg, chief executive of Glasgow
2014, concludes, ‘I’m delighted that we’ve been
able to partner with Toshiba TEC. The company
is a true leader in its field and brings a wealth of
expertise – not only in delivering key services but
also doing so amidst the uniquely pressurised
environment and atmosphere of a global
sporting event.’
